Roasted Asparagus
Serves: 4
Rita says: "Springtime brings our region the lovely local asparagus we used at the 2007 annual meeting. It’s a wonderful source of folic acid and one cooked cup provides over 65 percent of the daily value for this nutrient. Try Chef Ken Charney’s easy recipe for asparagus with a delicious dressing.”
Chef Charney says: "The asparagus can be cooked in the oven, but if you have your grill going, they're even better off the grill. While roasting alone gives the asparagus a wonderful texture and unusual flavor, the soy-miso dressing adds a lovely flavor."
